LabID is a platform for research teams to manage lab inventory, electronic lab notes, research data, and metadata. Teams can track and share consumables, equipment, storage locations, and specialized inventory types. Its notebook supports formatted notes with tables and pictures, plus links to protocols and lab items, attachments, comments, and sharing. Notes can be timestamped using RFC 3161-compliant digital timestamps and exported as PDF or static HTML.

For data management, LabID registers raw and derived datasets, records assay metadata, and connects datasets to their originating samples and specimens. Teams can register, version, and share workflows from Git, WorkflowHub, or Galaxy, then track runs and provenance. Integrations include Galaxy, WorkflowHub, Git, S3 storage, and LibreOffice document editing. A CLI and API support automated ingestion and custom data-registration clients. Organizations can self-host LabID and customize inventory models, vocabularies, workflows, and integrations. The free, open-source deployment costs nothing. The EMBL installation is only available under VPN; users outside EMBL can deploy their own instance.
